Energy conversion substrate using liquid

ABSTRACT

The present invention relates to an energy conversion substrate using a liquid and, more specifically, to an energy conversion substrate using a liquid capable of converting mechanical energy into electric energy through a flow of a liquid on a substrate having an energy conversion layer. Thus, the present invention enables easy manufacture and easy liquid circulation to be obtained by implementing an energy conversion device using a liquid through one substrate instead of a pair of opposing substrates and can implement the energy conversion device without a lubricating layer.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to an energy conversion substrate using a liquid and, more specifically, to an energy conversion substrate using a liquid capable of converting mechanical energy into electric energy through a flow of a liquid on a substrate having an energy conversion layer.

BACKGROUND ART

The energy conversion technologies for converting mechanical energy into electrical energy of prior art use a principle that an electrical capacitance is being created in the electrode under a dielectric material by varying the contact area of a liquid metal which is being contact with a dielectric material in accordance with the flow of time.

A method and a device for converting energy using a fluid of prior art is being disclosed in the U.S. Pat. No. 7,898,096.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a device of prior art for converting energy using a fluid. According to FIG. 1, in a device of prior art for converting energy using a fluid, an electrode is formed to have a consistent pattern on the wall of a thin and long channel, and a dielectric material layer is formed above the electrode. Then, a little waterdrop-like conductive liquid and a non-conductive liquid are being injected into the channel, and by applying a voltage from an external power source to such a waterdrop-like conductive liquid, the conductive liquid is being depolarized.

At this state, when a physical pressure is applied to a predetermined portion (not shown) which is connected to the channel the depolarized waterdrop-like conductive liquid is moving along the channel, and during this process, the contact area of the multiple electrodes, which is formed with a consistent pattern, with the moving multiple conductive liquid droplet is continuously changing with time, and as a result, an electrical energy is generated due to the electrical capacitance change.

However, a method and a device of prior art for converting energy using a fluid have various problems for commercialization.

However, a method and a device of prior art for converting energy using a fluid should adopt a structure having two electrodes facing each other since it is based on

Because of such a structural limitation, a method and a device of prior art for converting energy using a fluid, must use a narrow and thin channel structure, thus it has difficulty in manufacturing and difficulty in circulation of the liquid.

First, since a reversible movement, wherein a drop-like liquid metal, which has been moved inside the narrow and thin channel, is returning back to its original position when the external force is removed, is difficult, there is a limitation in that a separate lubricating layer is required and an inoperable condition happens due to the easy occurrence of the channel blocking phenomenon.

Moreover, since a method and a device of prior art for converting energy using a fluid adopt a narrow and thin channel structure, the two facing electrodes must be patterned with a fixed shape on the channel wall, and the device configuration becomes complicated due to such a structure, and the size of the module producing electrical energy becomes large, and there are many limitations in mass production or cost reduction.

In addition, as for other problems, it is harmful to the human body and the environment by using a liquid metal such as mercury or galinstan, and there is a limitation in that application of an external separate power source is required for depolarizing such a conductive liquid.

Further, a method and a device of prior art for converting energy using a fluid has problems in that the reversible movements in the channel structure must be continuously implemented, and the control is difficult since the two different kinds of immiscible liquids must be used.

As reviewed before, when compared with prior art using more than two different kinds of liquids, the present invention may prevent blocking and mixing phenomena inside the channel, and also it does not require any lubricating layer. Especially, since it does not require a pair of facing electrodes, there is not a difficulty in manufacturing of channel structure and the like, or a structural limitation which makes liquid circulation difficult, thus, an energy conversion device which is more economical and facilitating management.

Furthermore, although the technologies of prior art suggests an insulation layer comprising a single self assembly molecular monolayer and a single dielectric layer, or more layers of non-conductive layers, or the various combination thereof, however, the present invention suggests a structure for optimizing the energy conversion efficiency.

And, application of an external power source for depolarization is required in using a conductive liquid according to the technology of prior art, however, application of an external power source is not required in the present invention since the energy conversion layer performs depolarizing function for the ionic liquid.

Although the preferred exemplary embodiments and the application examples are illustrated and described, heretofore, the present invention is not limited by the above described specific exemplary embodiments and the application examples, naturally, various variant embodiments are possible by a person of ordinary skill in the art without departing the gist of the present invention claimed within the scope of the claims, and these variant embodiments should not be individually understood from the technical spirit or the expectation of the present invention.
